Updates on Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The City of Coquitlam continues to provide most civic services and take steps to protect the public and help limit the spread of COVID-19.

The City of Coquitlam is closely monitoring the situation in British Columbia and locally. Please watch this page for updates to City services as the pandemic continues, and see the links at the bottom of the page for COVID-19 information from other government and health authorities.

We're all in this together; let's stay apart.

City Service Updates

Based on updated Orders by B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer on Nov. 19, we are making further adjustments to our recreation programming in order to continue to provide safe fitness options for our community - we still have a number of great fitness options available for all abilities. Please check out all the details here.

Customers will receive an automatic refund for cancelled programs and do not need to call in to recreation centres or registration lines. Please allow up to two weeks for processing.

Please note that masks are mandatory for all people entering City facilities. 

Exemptions apply for people with health conditions or physical, cognitive or mental impairments who cannot wear a mask; for people who cannot remove a mask on their own; and for children under the age of 12. 

At this time, most City services continue to be delivered with protocols in place to ensure both public and staff safety. For service details, see the links to the left. Staff are also available by phone or email; visit coquitlam.ca/contact. Also, many City services and transactions can be completed online; visit coquitlam.ca/eservices.
